Pere Marquette River Fishing Report 8/28/10 |

The Pere Marquette is fishing good for Trout and Salmon now. My Salmon season started this week with three days of fishing and at first I must admit I was a little nervous with the conditions and the lack of fish that I have been hearing about. But to my surprise we did pretty good we found fish all four days and even managed to get a couple bright ones to the net, and get some to chase some big flies. What else can you ask for this early in the season. (: The fish are fresh and hot to trott making Fly Rod battles pretty awesome. There however are no big numbers anywhere look for this to change though if the nights stay cooler and we some good East winds. The Big Lake did cool down last week but now with hot weather on the way no telling what will happened. This last week on a couple of mornings I actually put some Fleece on, it was nice finally felt like Fall. My favorite time of the year. As of Salmon right now best bet is down in the real low part of the river system. This is where you will find more sucess.
Trout well it's been on and off this last week. I had a good day time bite at the begining of the week and then it slowed down a bit for the bigger fish. Did some Mousing last night bringing some teen size fish to hand and rolling a few other smaller ones and one decent one. The Moon is big and bright again so this makes night time fishing a little tougher. If you are interested is some Salmon or Steelhead fishing this Fall I did have a couple cancellations for both as you can see the days I posted here. Send me a e-mail if interested. I can also find other guides for group multi boat trips. The days left for PEAK Fall/Winter Salmon- Steelhead are Oct 6, December 11-12. Pictures from last week: Amy and Paul joined me for a great day of Trout fishing. Amy did awesome for her first time Fly-Fishing taking this nice fish on a Hopper towards evening. Two big KINGS taken by Rudy and Tom last week. Check out the gallery page which has been updated with Fall '09 steelhead photos. Drop me an email if you want to book a trip, or if looking for an up to the minute report. Tightlines, |

VideosYear in Review...2008 Brown Trout.
Year in Review...2008 Steelhead.
Winter steelheading on the Pere Marquette River with the guys from Nomad Anglers. Good Client and friend Rick Marcum of Chicago put this video together. There are some clips of us fishing together including a bright, sunny day in May stripping streamers...where as the guide you think this is going to be a tough day. We managed to get a Steelhead though at 1 in the afternoon. (:
